Trump Calls on China to End Ukraine War

Former U. S. President Donald Trump has urged China to help stop the war in Ukraine. He made this call just a day after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris. Trump suggested an immediate ceasefire and negotiations, arguing that too many lives are being lost. He believes that Russia's President Vladimir Putin should take action now, and he thinks China can play a crucial role.Trump had earlier claimed he could end the war within 24 hours if elected. He now says both Ukraine and Russia have suffered huge losses. Zelenskyy described his talks with Trump as constructive but emphasized the need for a just and lasting peace. He warned that Russia could disrupt any peace agreement in the future. Some of Zelenskyy's advisors are worried that without strong security guarantees from the West, a ceasefire would be pointless. They fear that Russia could break the peace if left unchecked. Trump also linked the situation in Syria to the war in Ukraine, suggesting that Russia's weakened state due to the conflict in Syria could help resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
